Reading

Put together from what the tradition attributes to each body, sign and house — a portrait to enjoy, not a verdict. The positions beside it are the part that can be checked.

  1. Sun in Leo

    Who you are being when you are most yourself.

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

  2. Moon in Aries

    What makes you feel safe.

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

  3. Mercury in Virgo

    How you think, and how you say it.

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

  4. Venus in Libra

    What you like, and how you go about liking it.

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

  5. Mars in Virgo

    How you go after what you want.

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

  6. Jupiter in Gemini

    Where you want more room.

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

  7. Saturn in Leo

    The strict teacher you thank later.

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

  8. Uranus in Virgo

    The urge to break something that still works.

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.

  9. Neptune in Scorpio

    Where the edges go soft.

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

  10. Pluto in Pisces

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Taurus

    The direction you keep getting nudged in.

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Scorpio

    The sore spot you end up good at.

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

  13. Lilith in Taurus

    What you refused, and what refuses back.

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

The tightest aspects

  1. Mars Chiron · sextile, orb 0.03°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  2. Sun Jupiter · sextile, orb 0.14°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  3. Moon Saturn · trine, orb 1.11°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it run together easily.

    Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.

  4. Mercury Uranus · conjunction, orb 1.55°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the impulse to break a pattern that still works are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  5. Saturn Chiron · square, orb 1.52°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.

    The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.

  6. Mars Pluto · opposition, orb 2.59°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived face each other across the chart.

    The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
